703 - L Nov. 5:4/3 - A Union meeting was held in Newburgh town hall last
night. The glee club, composed of young men and women of Newburgh
Heights, furnished music for the occasion. John G. Grannis was the main
speaker of the evening. He showed conclusively that the supporters of
the Chicago nominees were the peace men, and those in favor of surrender
to the Rebels. He said that an armistice was what the Rebels wanted.
Commenting on the emancipation proclamation, he declared it one of the
wisest acts of the administration. (11)
